Henry Currey (1820-1900) has been described as the "single most important aesthetic influence on the making of Eastbourne" Kim Adams will tell us about Currey from his early years training as an architect under Decimus Burton and Joseph Paxton. He was brought to Eastbourne by the 7th Duke of Devonshire and spent the rest of his long career delivering the Duke's vision for a seaside town of the highest rank, responsible for laying out the seafront parades and the extension to Meads, designing buildings such as the Devonshire Park Theatre and acting as the Duke's agent in the town.
